This place is becoming my home away from home when I come to visit Boston! Walking distance to coffee, food and groceries and quick to get into Boston by car.

The space was incredibly warm and well supplied. It's a quick walk into West Medford where you can grab a bite, catch the train or get some provisions. There is plenty of space to spread out and the hosts were incredibly accommodating and responsive.

Eclectic family home with easy in and out location. Piano and radio though no television or microwave making it slightly inconvenient for a take out dinner night at home. Great space and homey.

Our family of adults stayed here for a local college graduation (go Jumbos!) and it’s a good comfy, “really-a-home-during-the week” type home. Quirky, warm and lived in, you can tell by the unfissy but well stocked kitchen & dining supplies. But as described, literally a work-in-progress home, with beautiful rooms and kitchen, every spot about 90 finished. Good for families with older kids, this not a great spot for toddlers given the unfinished nature. Also only a single bathroom so not a great situation if your group does not get along, or one of you takes loooong showers. Also, while not far from transit, not super close so prepare to walk, or drive to the nearby T stations. But also nearby are some great looking bakeries and restaurants! And a beautiful walking path along the Mystic.

The home was so nice! We had off street parking and everything we needed to be able to make family meals and such. The location and neighborhood were ideal! The host’s mother talked to us as we went in and out a couple of times and was a delight! We all agreed that it was perfect!
